In the 1970s, soda companies in the worldswitchedfrom sucrose (table sugar) to high-fructosecornsyrup. High- fructose corn syrup is cheaper and morereadilyavailable.

But thetollof this change began showing up earlier in thisdecadewhen diabetes and obesity were finally being reviewed withurgencyandalarm. High-fructose wasconsideredtheculprit.

Both sucrose and high-fructose corn syrup share the same biochemistry.

They are bothmade ofglucose and fructose. They are bothprocessedfoods with no caloricbenefit. To be a beneficialcalorie, it mustcontainsome protein, minerals, antioxidants, vitamins, all of which areessentialto human life.

The difference between sucrose (sugar) and high-fructose corn syrup is the amount of fructose which they contain. High-fructose corn syrup has more fructose than sucrose.

Moreover, fructose must first be metabolized in theliverand then passed along. Some is stored in the liver andmuscles.The restisconvertedinto triglycerides; which is aformof fat. Because of this metabolizing process, it is believed that fructosecausesfattylivers,gout, insulinresistance, and other serious problems.

For this reasonsome look at high-fructose corn syrup as aworsechoicethan sugar.

gunduz, fruits also have fructose but they have other nutritions too such as proteins, vitamins etc. If the body takes fructose alone, I mean without the vitamins ..., then the liver turns some of it to fat.
